We are pleased to welcome you as an employer in construction. The construction industry is a major economic sector that generates investments totalling about $45 billion per year, as well as creating hundreds of thousands of jobs – one job in 20. This shows the importance of our industry in the Quebec economy.

To make it easier for you to do business with our organization, we have written this guide for you. It includes information that you will need to operate your firm, and it will help you meet the obligations set out in An Act on labour relations, vocational training and manpower management in the construction industry (commonly called Act R-20) and in the collective agreements in force.

For the latest and most complete information, we urge you to read the newsletter Bâtir, which will be sent to you every month. Other publications of interest will also be sent occasionally.

The Commission de la construction du Québec is determined to continue simplifying and improving the quality of its services. Therefore, we offer an employer phone line, 1 877 973-5383, through which you can contact our Customer Services. When you contact our Customer Services, you must have one or another of these numbers at hand: your CCQ employer number, the Régie du bâtiment du Québec number, or your Quebec business number (NEQ).

You can also visit the CCQ’s Web site at www.ccq.org. This site offers a goldmine of useful information. Finally, please don’t hesitate to send us your comments and suggestions; they will help us improve the quality and accessibility of our services.

Welcome to the construction industry.

whAT IS ThE COMMISSION DE LA CONSTRUCTION DU QUébEC?

A. Its nAture

The Commission de la construction du Québec (CCQ) is responsible for making sure that An Act on labour relations, vocational training and manpower management in the construction industry (commonly called Act R-20) and its regulations are applied. It is funded mainly by a levy on the total payroll of the industry’s workforce. Its board of directors is formed of union, employer, and government representatives.

B. Its role

The CCQ is mandated by An Act on labour relations, vocational training and manpower management in the construction industry to supervise application of the construction collective agreements, administer the social benefits plans, and implement measures and provisions ensuring organization of vocational training for workers in the industry.

C. Its powers

To carry out its inspection duties and its audits of payroll books and registers, the CCQ conducts visits to construction sites and the offices of construction companies. It can require contraveners to conform to the law, instigate civil or criminal proceedings, and order suspension of work.

The CCQ takes measures to collect monies related to pay and to unpaid allowances. It may make claims based on an appraisal of work executed.

The CCQ is obliged to cooperate with the Ministère du Revenu in the application of the tax laws in the construction industry.

D. Its Customer servICes

The CCQ’s Customer Services process the following applications:

• registration or change of a designated representative for a partnership or corporation

• issuing of a competency certificate to an employer

• workforce referral

• workforce movements, by issuing hiring and lay-off confirmation numbers for employees

A. the mAnDAteThe main goal of the CCQ’s inspection activities is to ensure healthy competition within the construction industry in Quebec.

The purpose of inspection is to make sure that working conditions are respected and that employees and employers working on construction sites comply with the law. Inspection also checks that the monthly remittances match the construction activities identified on the construction sites.

In order to target inspection activities more specifically toward high-risk sites, the CCQ has created information systems to keep it as well informed as possible about activities on construction sites before, during, and after completion. The inspector’s role has also been revised so that inspectors function more as investigators.

The CCQ has developed different approaches to inspection, some of which are aimed at dissuading people from turning to noncompliant situations and preventing such situations from occurring. Among these approaches are targeted blitzes per sector.

B. the powersAct R-20 accords the CCQ certain powers with regard to inspection and auditing of payroll books and registers. CCQ inspectors have the authority to enter the construction sites and offices of construction companies, which must grant them access. The CCQ may also require that any information it deems useful be supplied, enjoin contraveners to obey the law, and order work to be suspended.

In addition, the CCQ may present claims based on an expertise of the work, since it may transpose construction work done into hours worked.

C. KeepIng A pAyroll regIstrer(Regulation respecting the register, monthly report, employer’s notices, and designation of a representative, Division III)You must keep a payroll register, which must be kept in your place of business. This register must be made available to the CCQ inspectors if they ask you for it. Your register must contain the following information for each of your employees and for yourself:

• Last name, first name, address, and social insurance number of your workers

• Name of the trade or occupation and the apprenticeship period, where applicable, of your workers

• Region and address of construction sites for each day of work

• the exact times at which the work begins, is interrupted, and ends, the hours of work paid at regular rate, time and a half, and double time

• Nature of the work and the type of site

• Wages paid, the date and the method of payment

• Allowances payable for paid vacations and statutory holidays

• Amount deducted for the levy

• Contributions deducted from wages and made by the employer to the social benefits plan

• Union dues deducted

• Employer’s licence number in accordance with the Building Act

D. the sItuAtIon letterThe situation letter is a document issued by the CCQ when an employer requests it. It provides a snapshot of the employer’s situation with regard to its obligations to the CCQ at the time when the request is made. This letter is usually required by the work provider or general contractor on a site to ensure that a subcontractor has fulfilled its obligations to the CCQ, including the monthly remittances. With this letter, the work provider and general contractor acquire information relevant to the application of section 54 of Act R-20, which provides that the salary due by a subcontractor is a joint obligation between this subcontractor and the contractor with which it has signed a contract.

There are two types of situation letter:

• Situation letter for the purpose of bidding

• Situation letter for a specific construction site, with or without irregularities

how to request a situation letterTo request a situation letter, you must fill out the form “Request for a Situation Letter.” Employers

who subscribe to the CCQ’s online services may fill out and send this form online (for more information, see page 8 of this guide). You will also find the form on the CCQ’s Web site, at www.ccq.org, under the heading “Forms.” If

you do not have access to the Internet, you may obtain a print copy by contacting the CCQ’s Customer Services.

You may send printed copies by fax to:(514) 736-6718

or by mail to:

Commission de la construction du QuébecP.O. Box 2015, Youville StationMontréal (Québec) H2P 0B2

Requests from employers who meet the conditions below will be processed within three days:

• You must do assessable work to Act R-20

• You must be registered with the CCQ and have paid the fees related to your registration

• You must hold a licence from the Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ)

• You must have paid the fees related to any previous issuance of a situation letter

A fee of $30 is payable for the issuance of a situation letter.

The restricted licenceThe Regulation respecting restrictions to contractor licences for the purposes of obtaining a public contract (Decree 11960-98) has been in force since October 14, 1998. This regulation has enabled the government of Québec to tighten the rules with regard to awarding of public contracts, thus reinforcing its intention to ensure fair competition and fiscal equity in the construction industry.

In fact, the regulation, which is aimed at dissuading everyone from doing under-the-table construction, forbids the awarding of public contracts to contractors who contravene certain provisions of Act R-20.

what is a public construction contract?Public construction contracts and subcontracts targeted by the regulation are those that are attached, directly or indirectly, to a contract in which one party is:

• a public ministry or agency

• an organization in the school network

• an organization in the hospital network

• an organization in the municipal network in the context of a publicly funded project

Duration of the restriction and types of infractionThe duration of the restriction varies depending on the type of infraction. Among the types of infraction that may lead to the issuance of a restricted licence are:

• Having had work suspended

• Having paid or been sentenced to pay a claim established on the basis of estimate of work

• Having committed an infraction related to not holding a competency certificate

• Having committed an infraction related to refusing access, not providing information, or non-declaration of hours


Employer noticeThe hiring of an individual who does not hold a competency certificate is an infraction that may lead to application of the Regulation respecting restrictions to contractor licences for the purposes of obtaining a public contract. Therefore, when an employee working on a site does not hold a competency certificate, the CCQ sends a notice to that person’s employer. This measure is aimed at permitting the employer to correct the situation rapidly in order to avoid accumulating these types of infractions.

Appeal to the construction commissionerA contractor convicted of an infraction that could lead to a restriction to its licence may, within 30 days

following the conviction, appeal this decision to the Office of the Commissioner of the Construction Industry.

To find out more about the restricted licenceTo obtain more information about how the regulation is applied and the type of infraction that may lead to the issuance of a restriction, you may consult the page on the restricted licence on our Web site, www.ccq.org, under the heading “Employer’s responsibilities.” If you do not have Internet access, you may obtain a printed copy of the pamphlet “The Restricted Licence” by contacting Customer Services at the regional office in your region.



ThE INDUSTRY’S COLLECTIvE AGREEMENTS The construction industry has four collective agreements, one for each of its sectors (the industry’s four sectors are defined on page 38):

• Residential

• Industrial

• Institutional and commercial

• Civil engineering and roadwork

In each sector, employers are represented by an association that is responsible for negotiating working conditions with the union side. You may obtain the collective agreement governing the sector in which your employees work from these associations, which are:

• Association de la construction du Québec (AcQ): industrial, institutional, and commercial sectors

• Association des constructeurs de routes et grands travaux du Québec (AcrgtQ): civil engineering and roadwork sector

• Association provinciale des constructeurs d’habitations du Québec (ApcHQ): residential sector

Please note that the texts of the four collective agreements are published on the CCQ’s Web site, and subscribers to the CCQ’s online services may conduct a search by key words.

ThE CCQ’S MANDATE whITh REGARD TO APPLICATION OF ThE COLLECTIvE AGREEMENTSThe CCQ is responsible for making sure that the collective agreements of the four sectors of the construction industry are applied. To fulfil this mandate, the CCQ:

• Inspects sites and examines company books

• Applies, on behalf of the workforce, the recourses set out in the collective agreements

• Coordinates issues related to the field of application of Act R-20 and trade competencies

• Contributes to maintaining a harmonious labour-relations climate

A. whAt ConstruCtIon worK In CovereD unDer ACt r-20?

Construction work covered by the Act includes foundation, erection, maintenance, renovation, repairs, modification, and demolition of buildings and civil-engineering works, executed on the site, including preparation of the ground; as well as certain related work, but under particular conditions, such as:

• Installation, erection, repairs, and maintenance of building equipment

• Installation, repairs, and maintenance of production equipment

B. whAt Are the exClusIons to ACt r-20?There are 14 reasons for work not to be subjected to application of Act R-20.

ThE COLLECTIvEAGREEMENTS AND ACT R-20

Part 3


When an independent contractor holds a specialized contractor’s licence related to the subcategory “excavation and earthwork contractor,” that person is:

• An individual (sole proprietorship) performing all types of construction work covered by the Act for others, without the assistance of an employee

• A corporation or partnership of which an administrator, a shareholder holding at least one voting share, or a partner performs all types of construction work covered by the Act for others, for the profit of the corporation or partnership and without the assistance of an employee

C. employer o InDepenDAnt ContrACtor?

The law recognizes that a construction company may be an employer or an independent contractor.

An employer is:

An individual(sole proprietorship)

A corporation or partnership

With one or more employees in the sense of article 1r of Act R-20 (only the individual does not figure in the monthly report)

With one or more employees in the sense of article 1r or Act R-20 (the designated representative may figure in the monthly report)

When the independent contractor holds a specialized contractor’s licence related to any other subcategory but “excavation and earthwork contractor,” that person is:

• An individual (sole proprietorship) performing maintenance, repairs, and minor renovation covered by the Act for others, without the assistance of an employee

• A corporation or partnership of which an administrator, a shareholder holding at least one voting share, or a partner performs maintenance, repairs, and minor renovation covered by the Act for others, for the profit of the corporation or partnership and without the assistance of an employee


A. hIrIng holDers of A CompetenCy CertIfICAteAll individuals who perform construction work in the sense of the Act must hold a valid competency certificate. As an employer, it is up to you to check the validity of this certificate.

The competency certificate is valid for 12 months. There are three types of competency certificate (see samples on following pages):• Journeyman competency certificate – confirms

that its holder is qualified to practise a trade or a trade specialty

• Occupation competency certificate – confirms that its holder may perform a task falling under an “occupation” that is not part of the performance of a trade (see definitions in Appendix B of the collective agreements)

• Apprentice competency certificate – confirms that its holder is apprenticing in a trade

• Holders of a competency certificate-apprentice also have an apprenticeship record book, which tells you which period of apprenticeship its holder is in. This information is needed to determine the corresponding wage rate.

B. exemptIon from holDIng A CompetenCy CertIfICAteThe CCQ may exceptionally issue an exemption under specific circumstances (e.g., qualification or apprenticeship outside of Québec, child of an employer, new coverage, etc.). This exemption may involve certain restrictions allowing only for specific work to be done for a specific employer and for a limited time.

RULES FOR hIRING, PAYING AND LAYING OF wORkERS

Because of its exceptional character, an application for exemption must be accompanied by proof of why the person who is the subject of the application must work on the site.

You may obtain an application form and more information by contacting Customer Services at your regional office or by consulting the CCQ’s Web site.

C. DIreCt supervIsIon of ApprentICes AnD journeymAn/ApprentICe rAtIo

Apprentices may perform their tasks only under the direct supervision of a journeyman in the same trade or, if the tasks are part of the practice of more than one trade, of a journeyman in one of these trades.

Two notions with regard to journeyman/apprentice ratios, set out in articles 19 and 20 of the regulation, must be respected:

Journeyman/apprentice ratio in the booksFor a single workday and for all of your sites, you must ensure that the ratio for a given trade respects the norms established per sector, as shown on page 20.

Journeyman/apprentice ratio on siteHowever, for a single workday on a site, the ratio for a given trade may be, at minimum, 1 journeyman for 1 apprentice.

Part 4


JOURNEYMAN/APPRENTICE RATIO

Under A Regulation respecting the vocational training and qualification of manpower in the construction industry (R-20, r. 6.2), your apprentices must perform their tasks under the supervision of a journeyman in the same trade or, if the tasks are part of the practice of more than one trade, the apprentice must be under the supervision of a journeyman in one of these trades.

You must also respect the journeyman-apprentice ratio for each trade on each site (see table below). However, you may hire another apprentice when you employ a journeyman in the same trade in excess of the number indicated in the table or any multiple of that number.

For a site as a whole, the number of apprentices hired must not be greater than the number of journeymen.

e. notIfy the CCq of All worKforCe movements

You must inform the CCQ of all workforce movements on any of your sites. The CCQ issues a number for each hiring, lay-off, dismissal, or departure that you send to it. These numbers, which must be entered in your payroll register, must be obtained from the CCQ on the day of the event or the following day at the latest. Note that Saturdays, Sundays, paid statutory holidays, and obligatory vacations set out in the collective agreements are not included in the prescribed deadlines.

There are three ways to obtain these numbers:

• by using the online form available on the CCQ’s Web site (for employers who are subscribed to these services)

• by using the phone line for employers, 1 877 973-5383, or by faxing the form to your regional office

• by using the form Mouvements de main-d’œuvre/Embauche et mise à pied, which is available from Customer Services at your regional office (you can also photocopy the sample on the next page)

Please note that when an apprentice competency certificate with a guarantee of employment or an exemption is issued, the hiring number will be automatically confirmed on the notice that is sent to you to this effect.

You should therefore not report on the Mouvement de main-d’oeuvre form the employees covered by these situations.

Reporting workforce movements: you’ll see, it pays off!When you report your workforce movements, you enable the CCQ to:

• update workers’ files

• better manage the manpower needs by trade and by region because it can more quickly validate labour shortages

• ensure a better quality of worker referrals to employers who make requests, and, as a consequence, offer a customer service that responds adequately to the needs of employers and employees in the industry

f. hAve your new worKer fIll out A unIon DeClArAtIon form

As stipulated in the sector-based collective agreements, all workers in the construction industry must belong to a union association to work on construction sites. The union association and the CCQ must be informed of the worker’s choice. Therefore, when a worker is hired, he or she must fill out a form in triplicate. You must send to the CCQ the original of this form with the monthly report and send a copy to the union concerned. You may keep the last copy for your files. The Union Declaration form is distributed by the sector-based employers’ associations (see sample on page 26).

g. senDIng A lAyoff notICe

Before you dismiss an employee who has been working for you for more than five (5) working days, you must provide that employee with written notice of three (3) days or more.

This notice must be sent within 48 hours preceding the layoff. A form, issued by the sector-based employers’ associations, exists for this purpose (see sample on page 26). This form MUST NOT be sent to the CCQ.

D. respeCtIng the worK regIonCompetency certificates are issued for a given work region. This region must be respected when you hire a worker. You may, however, assign your regular employees to any region in Québec, under certain conditions. However, if contrary directions are given in the collective agreements, you must follow these directions.

vALUE OF TAxAbLE bENEFITS

INSURANCE PLANTAxAbLE bENEFITS STARTING JUNE 26, 2011The life insurance and health insurance contributions that you pay to the CCQ are a taxable benefit for the purpose of provincial income tax, while only the life insurance contribution is taxable for federal income tax.

ProvincialThe Ministère du Revenu du Québec requires all employers to take account of this taxable benefit when they make deductions at source. You must

therefore keep an account of the additional assessable wages indicated on the table below (hourly wage); the amount varies depending on the insurance plan held and the sector.

FederalThe Canada Revenue Agency does not require that employers keep track, in their deductions at source, of the taxable benefits comprising the life insurance contributions. The CCQ issues a T4A tax slip to all employees concerned, indicating the value of this taxable benefit. If an employer also indicates a taxable benefit on the T4 that it issues to employees, the employees will be doubly taxed.

The construction industry favours those with a diploma when it comes to access to the job market, and so all trades have a training program that responds to the industry’s needs. These programs allow apprentices who are about to enter the job market to develop basic skills.

EvALUATION OF COMPETENCIESEvery year, the CCQ administers some 11,000 examinations for qualification in trades and specialties. Those who fail the exam are asked to receive further training in the sections of the exam that they did not pass. Apprentices may take their exam at one of the points of service provided for this purpose by the CCQ.

INvOLvEMENT IN SChOOL ADMINISTRATIONMemoranda of understanding have been signed with the department of education and the school boards in order to involve industry representatives on the boards of schools offering programs in the construction sector. These may be multi-sector centres or centres exclusively for construction. The industry participates in the administration of 12 training centres.

UPGRADING OF ThE wORkFORCEEven experienced workers who work in the industry may receive upgrading training. In fact, the CCQ creates and organizes upgrading courses for them.

A directory of these activities is published every year and sent in August to all workers in the industry. Subscribers to the CCQ’s online services may register for these courses online. The directory of upgrading activities is also published on the CCQ’s Web site under the tab “Formation”, where you will find a registration form. If you do not have access to the Internet, you may obtain the directory by contacting Customer Services at your regional office.

Financial support may also be offered by Emploi-Québec. Two training funds, instituted under the collective agreements, complement the funding provided by the public partners.

UPGRADING OF ThE wORkFORCEUnder Article 7 of the Regulation respecting issuance of competency certificates, the CCQ provides leadership with regard to development of tools aimed at recognizing different types of training acquired, notably among the non-graduate workforce. In this sense, it has defined mechanisms that enable these workers to get training in its study program so that they will not be disadvantaged in the job market.

Specific terms also apply to holders of a competency certificate who do not have a diploma, whose certificate was issued during a labour shortage period.

Holders of an apprentice competency certificate must meet the following conditions if they wish to renew their apprentice competency certificate:

• have taken a minimum 30 hours of the recognized study program for their trade during the validity period of their certificate;

• have worked in the industry during the 14 months preceding the renewal.

Holders of an occupation competency certificate must meet the following conditions if they wish to renew their occupation competency certificate:

• have worked in the industry during the 14 months preceding the renewal;

• have passed the course Cours de connaissance générale de l’industrie de la construction (CCGIC). This requirement is composed of two separate activities:

• taking the 15-hour module Situation au regard des organismes de l’industrie de la construction;

vOCATIONAL TRAINING

Part 6


and

• taking one or more upgrading courses, with a minimal duration of 45 hours, offered in the directory of upgrading activities for occupation workers in the construction industry.

For information on upgrading activities, call Info-perfectionnement, at 1 888 902-2222.

TRAINING FUNDThe CCQ manages the Fonds de formation des salariés de l’industrie de la construction. This fund is used to promote and finance upgrading activities for workers in the construction industry. The fund has two sections:

• One for workers in the institutional and commercial, industrial, and civil engineering and roadwork sectors.

• The other for workers in the residential sector.

The fund is composed of an hourly contribution of $0.20, which is paid by the employer through the monthly report. In addition to refunding registration and tuition fees, the Fonds de formation des salariés de l’industrie de la construction (Training Fund for Workers in the Construction Industry) refunds eligible workers for travel, transport, and lodging costs.

STATEMENT OF EMPLOYER’SCONTRIbUTIONS TO ThE TRAINING FUND ADMINISTERED bY ThE CCQIf you contribute to the training funds, you will receive, during February, the Relevé des contributions d’un employeur aux fonds de formations. This slip, which is sent by the CCQ, confirms that your contribution is considered a training expenditure under An Act to foster the development of manpower training.

QUALIFICATION FUNDSIn compliance with provisions in the collective agreements in the industrial, institutional and commercial, and civil engineering and roadwork

sectors, the CCQ administers eight qualification funds. Each of these funds reimburses workers, under certain conditions, for the cost of taking a qualification examination to obtain a welding certificate issued by the Canadian Welding Bureau or Emploi Québec. The maximum reimbursement is $300 or $1,800, as applicable. The trades and occupations covered by these funds are:

• boiler maker

• electrician

• tinsmith

• reinforcing steel erector

• millwright

• structural steel erector

• ornamental iron worker

• pipe fitter

• pipe welder

• supply welder

• distribution welder

Industrial and institutional and commercial sectors Apprentice pipe fitters may be reimbursed for costs related to the plumbing or heating examination if they passed it, according to the terms established. Pipe fitters who renew their TAG-1, TAG-2, TAG-3, and TAG-4 qualification may also receive reimbursement.

Civil engineering and roadwork sector Pipe fitters who renew their TAG-1, TAG-2, TAG-3, and TAG-4 qualification may receive reimbursement.

Every year, the CCQ responds to 1,000 requests for reimbursement. This volume may double following the addition of a number of types of tests eligible for reimbursement. These funds are formed by an employer contribution, which is sent to the CCQ with the monthly report. This contribution varies from $0.01 to $0.05 per hour per employee, depending on the trade.


All employers covered by the Act Respecting Labour Relations, Vocational Training and Workforce Management in the Construction Industry are required to send a report every month on their construction activities. This report includes identification of workers, hours worked, and salaries paid. Employers must also indicate the different remittances that they make to the funds managed by the CCQ.

The monthly report may be transmitted by Internet – by means of accounting software or the CCQ’s online services – by telephone, or by mail. Payment must be made every month to the CCQ, by the latest on the 15th of the month following the end of the period covered. Depending on the transmission mode that you choose, the monthly report may be paid electronically, through your banking institution, by preauthorized debit, or by cheque.

You must make sure that the required information in the monthly report is submitted with no errors

or omissions; these penalize employees and lead to penalties for the employer similar to those incurred for missing monthly reports.

The CCQ has the mandate of ensuring that you respect this obligation. In this respect, it has the power to take legal action against employers that are not in compliance. Therefore, any monthly report that is not in compliance, is incomplete, has erroneous information, or is received after the 15th day of the month following the period covered may lead to an interest charge and legal action.

To avoid errors, enter a single character per box and make sure that the sums calculated are accurate.

If you are acting as an independent contractor, see the sidebar on this subject below.

For any further information, please contact Customer Services at your regional office through the phone line for employers, at 1 877 973-5383.

ThE STATUS CODES – DETAILS



You may transmit your monthly report by Internet, by telephone, or by mail. You also have a choice of payment methods: electronic payment, preauthorized debit, or cheque.

Here, we explain each transmission method and its associated payment method.

1. ThE MONThLY REPORT bY INTERNETThe monthly report by Internet service is secure and free, and it is available anytime, day or night. Through the Internet, you can produce your monthly report two ways:

a. by filling out an automated data-processing form

b. by using adapted accounting software

step 1: suBsCrIBe! To start, you must subscribe to our online services. You will then obtain a user number and a personal identification number.

To subscribe, you must: - Access the CCQ’s Web site, at www.ccq.org

- Choose the “Employer” profile

- Click on the “Access to online services” icon

- Select the option “Nouvel utilisateur des services en ligne,” then fill in the information requested on the principal user.

If all of the information supplied is in compliance, you will receive a user number and a personal identification number (PIN). These numbers will be sent to you by mail, to the address given in our files.

This way of doing things is aimed at offering you the maximum security. By sending your user and personal identification numbers by mail, we ensure that you are actually the one who receives the number assigned when you subscribe to the online services.

Through a secure personal identification process, your company will have access to secure services.

step 2: Choose your trAnsmIssIon methoD

Once you have obtained your user number and PIN, you will be able to send us your monthly report using the computerized form through our online services, or by using an adapted accounting software package.

Here are the advantages of each.

a. Automated data-processing form(if your company has 100 or fewer employees*)

With the automated form, some data from the preceding monthly report may be automatically entered for the following months. This is the case, for instance, for your employees’ basic data. This way, you save time.

The automated form takes an average of one minute per person declared. The calculations are done in just seconds and are automatically validated. You know right away the amount of your remittance.

In addition, the automated form may detect certain errors (social insurance number, apprenticeship period, minimum pensionable income, etc.). You can then correct your report immediately.

Once you have filled in your form and transmitted it to the CCQ, you will receive an acknowledgment of receipt in the form of a Web page. After that, you simply have to send your payment by the 15th or the month at the latest.

b. Adapted accounting softwareSome accounting software is perfectly adapted to transmission of the monthly report by Internet. Because there are so many software packages, we cannot name them all here. Please contact the CCQ’s Customer Services, at 877 973-5383, to find out the required parameters.

Your accounting software supplier will be able to give you information with regard to transmission of the monthly report by adapted software.

4)PARTICIPATION bY EMPLOYERS IN ThE SOCIAL bENEFITS PLANS – JULY 2012

If you are a construction industry manager or a member of the company and you previously participated in the construction industry’s social benefits plans as an employee, you may continue to do so under certain conditions.

SOCIAL bENEFITS PLANSThe construction industry’s social benefits plans include insurance and pension plans. They are administered by the Commission de la construction du Québec (CCQ).

InsurAnCe plAnsThere are two insurance periods per year. Each of these insurance periods corresponds to a reference period during which the hours required to be insured are accumulated. Each reference period contains six consecutive monthly report periods.

insurance period reference period

January 1 to June 30 March to August

July 1 to December 31 September to February

some restrictions apply to certain types of insurance coverage. For example, no salary insurance benefits are payable for total disability resulting from any type of accident (work or other) or from an occupational disease if the member of the company or the manager is not covered by the Act respecting industrial accidents and occupational diseases when this accident or occupational disease occurs. Similarly, the member of the company or the manager is not entitled to salary insurance benefits for the first 17 weeks following the beginning of a disability if he is not covered by the Employment Insurance Act.

pensIon plAnFor all participants in the plan, the hours declared to the CCQ and the associated pension contributions are recorded in their file. These hours and contributions are used to calculate the pension benefits they will be entitled to.

ELIGIbILITY FOR SOCIAL bENEFITS PLANSA person who has ceased to be a construction industry employee may continue to participate voluntarily in the social benefits plans if he meets certain conditions.

Among employers, two categories of persons are eligible: managers and members of the company. Since July 1, 1998, the way members of the company participate has been changed.

PARTICIPATION bY A MEMbER OF ThE COMPANYwho Is ConsIDereD A memBer of the CompAny?The term member of the company means:

• a person who is an employer;

OR

• a person who is a partner in a partnership that is an employer;

OR

• a person who is an administrator of a sole partnership that is an employer;

OR

• the designated representative in a partnership or sole partnership that is an employer.

Notes :• An independent contractor is not considered a

member of the company who can participate in the social benefits plans.

• A member of the company must have previously participated in the social benefits plans as an employee.

hOw IS A COMPANY IDENTIFIED AS AN EMPLOYER FOR ThE SOCIAL bENEFITS?To be identified as an employer for a given insurance period:• the company must have paid the fees for

registering with the CCQ ($350), if applicable;


hOw CAN YOU GET INSURANCE vOLUNTARILY AS A MEMbER OF ThE COMPANY?

By paying the required premium. In May and November, the CCQ sends the eligible member of the company a notice of insurability indicating the premium he must pay to receive coverage under the general plan A in the following insurance period. some restrictions may apply to this coverage (see previous page); refer to the information bulletin MÉDIC Construction – Basic Plan. The hours worked as an employee during the reference period, which were reported and paid to the CCQ, reduce the amount payable.

A member of the company is eligible to pay the premium if:

• he has not lost the right to participate in the social benefits plans (see next section);

AND

• his company is identified as an employer for the insurance period in question or it was identified as an employer for one of the two previous insurance periods.

Note: A person who does not meet this latter condition does not lose his right to participate voluntarily in the social benefits plans but is not

Example:

eligible for the period in question. He becomes eligible again when his company is recognized as an employer during a subsequent period.

exclusionsA person cannot participate voluntarily in the insurance plans as a member of the company in the following situations:

• the person is age 65 or older before the beginning of the insurance period in question;

• he has received at least one week of hour credits or is covered by the insurance prolongation benefit during the insurance period in question (the purpose of this condition is to prevent a disabled person from improving his insurance coverage by paying a premium);

• he has lost the right to participate in the retirees insurance plan.

hOw CAN A MEMbER OF ThE COMPANY LOSE ThE RIGhT TO PARTICIPATE vOLUNTARILY IN ThE SOCIAL bENEFITS PLANS?

A member of the company permanently loses the right to participate voluntarily in the social benefits plans in the following two cases:

• he paid the premium required to be insured under plan A during a previous insurance period and is not insured under plan A for the period in question.

Note : A person who has accumulated 750 hours as an employee does not have to pay anything and is deemed to have paid the premium.

OR

• he has never paid the necessary premium during a previous period and is not insured under plan A, B, C, or D during the period in question.

A person who is not eligible to pay the insurance premium because his company is not identified as an employer does not lose his right to participate voluntarily in the social benefits plans.

If, as a member of the company, you lose your right to participate voluntarily in the social benefits plans, the hours recorded in your file are used to give you the best possible coverage (plan A, B, C, or D). For example, if 450 hours have been declared in your name at the CCQ for the reference period and if you have lost your right to participate as a member of the company, you will be insured under plan C.

AND• the company must hold a license from the Régie

du bâtiment du Québec, if applicable; AND• during the period of twelve consecutive months

commencing 18 months before the insurance period in question, the company must have submitted at least five monthly reports declaring hours worked by at least one employee; if the company only began operations during this twelve-month period, at least one monthly report out of two must declare the hiring of at least one employee.

If you have lost your right to voluntary participation as a member of the company starting with the insurance period of July 2006, you may obtain medication insurance coverage (plan Z) for July 2012 period under the following conditions:

• You cannot be insured by plan A, B, C, or D for July 2012 period; AND

• You are a member of the company linked to a company identified as an employer for the social benefits for July 2012 period; AND

• You are under 65 years of age before the beginning of the July 2012 period; AND

• You pay the required premium before the deadline indicated on the insurability notice that is sent to you in May 2012.

hOw CAN A MEMbER OF ThE COMPANY PARTICIPATE IN ThE PENSION PLAN?A member of the company who is eligible to pay the insurance contribution and who is insured under plan A receives a notice each fall notifying him that he can participate voluntarily in the pension plan if he is an employee of the company with which he is associated. Except for the hours worked as an employee, a member of the company is not obliged to contribute to the pension plan. However, he cannot participate exclusively in the pension plan.

Voluntary contributions by a member of the company must not bring the total hours contributed to the pension plan to more than 2,080 hours, including the hours worked as an employee (and the hours declared as a “designated representative registered as an employee” and as a “salaried director”).

notes:• Changes have been made to the pension plan.

Since January 2005, contributions made to the general account have been used mainly to pay down the deficit in the plan; these contributions are not accumulating new amounts in your

pension. Only contributions to the complementary account enable you to accumulate a pension. The pamphlet Overview of the Pension Plan in the Construction Industry provides more information on this subject.

• Before participating voluntarily in the pension plan, a member of the company should consult his accountant or tax expert to ensure that his contribution does not exceed the limits allowed by Revenue Canada.

• The income tax slips (T4, Relevé 1, etc.) reflecting participation by a member of the company in the pension plan must be produced by his employer.

PARTICIPATION bY A MANAGER

who Is ConsIDereD A mAnAger ? Person employed as a manager by a professional employer but who is not a director of a corporation or the designated representative. For example, this category is meant to include superintendents, site foremen and other representatives of the employer.

A manager may participate in the social benefits plans if:

• he previously participated in the social benefits plans as an employee;

AND

• the amounts in his construction industry pension file have not been completely reimbursed (if he has been totally reimbursed, he cannot participate).

How can a manager make the voluntary contributions that will allow him to participate? He does this through the monthly reports submitted to the CCQ. The Reference Guide for completing the employer’s monthly report describes how to pay these contributions.

If a person is not paid on an hourly basis, the number of hours of work declared per week for social benefits cannot exceed 60.

For additional information: The leaflets The MÉDIC Construction Card, Insurability Requirements, and Insurance Plans A, B, C, D will help you to better understand the insurance plans. The pamphlet Overview of the Pension Plan in the Construction Industry will provide you with information on the industry’s pension plan. These publications are available at the offices of your employer association and those of the CCQ.
